Overtime returns to original ownership

Overtime Beerhouse, 4810 86th St. in Urbandale, has re-opened with a new brand and a different owner. Kristi Cobb is in charge. Previously Cobb ran the restaurant for her parents, who owned it before moving to Arizona and selling the business to Cindy Barnes-Stone last year. Seven months later, Cobb is back and has redecorated the inside with a vintage sports theme and added four big-screen TVs. Overtime has 24 beers on tap, and three of them are domestic. Others are craft and microbrewery beers, including a few local Iowa options. The menu has been scaled back, featuring pizza, homemade wings, appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, salads and wraps. Overtime is open 11 a.m. to midnight, Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 1 a.m., Friday; 9 a.m. to 1 a.m., Saturday; and 9 a.m. to midnight, Sunday.

East Village hotel plan to be scaled back

Plans for Staybridge Suites in East Village have been scaled back. The hotel will now be five stories instead of six. It was originally planned to include 137 rooms but will now have 111. The change of plans is partly due to the competition from the proposed convention hotel to be built downtown in the next few years. Staybridge is part of a $49 million development currently under construction downtown. It will also have a 124-unit complex of market-rate apartments and a parking garage with 317 stalls.
